On March 27, Morrison and McLeod, 29, of no fixed abode arrived on Dukes Road in Acton at around 8pm.

They walked around an unattended Audi S4 car that belonged to a rival gang member. Morrison and McLeod then sat in Morrison’s BMW that was parked next to the Audi. Adu, 34, of Propeller Crescent, Waddon, Croydon joined them at the scene in another vehicle.

At about 9pm officers stopped Morrison’s and Adu’s vehicle. McLeod was found in possession of an imitation firearm in a sock tucked down the front of his trousers. All three were arrested.

Police found a GPS tracker, a Samsung tablet, phones and an instruction manual for a GPS tracker inside Morrison’s BMW. Police searched the underside of the Audi and found a GPS tracker attached to it that was the same make as the manual found in the BMW.

Morrison’s phone was examined as part of the investigation and this showed he had contacts saved as TK1, TK2 and TK3 that were all numbers for GPS trackers.

Call data records showed that Morrison’s phone had been tracking the Audi and was communicating with a GPS tracker on the day of the attempted robbery.
